"Sworn to avenge

So... I was thinking, we currently have only one 40 tonner in mwo, so, for the next one.... why not The Sentinel?

- Asymmetrical not-so-humanoid design (for variety)
- Weapons all around the structure
- Variety of hardpoints (missiles, ballistics, lasers)
- Many contemporary variants (some of them extinct)
- The Royal Variant is basically what the Hollander wanted to be
- Main weapon near cockpit`s level for easy aiming
- A hand and an arm to pick up girls (you can`t pick up girls without hands)
- I find it kinda cute (girls love cute things)
- Lyran mech (If you like them)
- Halt mutant!
-Cheap!








(this one reminds me of that ****** bot from Dragon Ball GT)


So what do you think? Would you rather have any other 40 tonner?

[IraqiWalker]

Any other 40 tonners are welcome. We currently have only 1! 40 tonner. The Cicada.

[Will9761]

I want to see this mech in-game.

[Nightshade24]

More 20, 25, 30, 40, and 95 tonners would be lovely.

[Juodas Varnas]

I'd rather have a Vulcan.

Just 'cause it looks cool as heck

[Lily from animove]

a golf ball with legs? Why not, we made trashcan walk.

but the real question is, what does it add, that the circada doesn, except visual stuff?

Nothing much really. Especially since the Sentinel doesn't have jump jets and Cicada is a very versatile chassis.
The only thing it has that Cicada doesn't is having all 3 kinds of hardpoints. Missiles+Energy+Ballistics.
Which isn't a good thing, because such generalist mechs are pretty bad in MW:O.

Vulcan (and Assassin) on the other hand, provide a jump-capable 40 tonners (Vulcan is mostly Ballistics+Energy, when Assassin is Missiles+Energy).

But to be honest, i'd be happy if they added all 3 of them (maybe throw in a Clint too)

I guess the hardpoints mainly. The sentinel got everything cover in almost all variants while the cicada only got a mix in some of them, like the Hero one being the only one with missiles.

Golf ball with legs? It looks more like a potato to me

Yeah the vulcan would be a strong choice for that weight

Yeah the sentinel can't jump. I would rather have it going at 86 km and with jump jets than 97 without them.
Problem with ballistic oriented mechs in this weight is that they cannot carry that much weight. However I really like that Vulcan's variant that carries a Large Pulse Laser. We only got like 3 mechs with quirks in that. The assasin would make for a good brawler but I rather have the Withworth for that . Also you can't pick up girls with the vulcan or fit a girl in the assasin's cockpit .
I still prefer having a little bit of everything in the sentinel. Also would make for another non-humanoid mech.

the problem with the JJ arguement is that there is a 8 JJ cicada in 2 years from this time meaning PGI can officially add it in now... however I still want more 40 tonners.

I believe the other 40 tonners can play more of the role of firepower then speed.

[Maaxxx]

40 tonners can take the role of strikers. They all have good speed and weapons with the exception of the Whitworth which is a slow mini Dervish.

[Spleenslitta]

I'd rather go for the Vulcan because it has JJ's.

[Maaxxx]

If I had to choose other than the Sentinel I would say Whitworth, then Vucan and then the Clint or the Assasin.

[Hawk819]

I say this put together a 40 ton pack: Assassin, Clint, Whitworth, Vulcan and Hermes II.

And btw, we have two 40t `Mechs: Cicky and Vindicator

and then release the Hermes light `Mech.

Vindicator is actually 45 tons...

Yup, Vindi is 45.

Cicada is the ONLY 40 tonner in the game. Even the clans don't have a 40 ton mech.

[Maaxxx]

A 40-ton pack would be a dream

[Maaxxx]

I`m bumping this thread!

[LastKhan]

So, an underton vindicator?

No, not really. They`re pretty different.
